Description of Cardone 66 1430 Constant Velocity Drive: Ultimate Power and Reliability Guaranteed!

Proprietary engineering processes ensure that all CV Drive Axles meet OE form, fit and function. Neoprene boots are designed with additional bellows, when needed, to resist bellow stress and cracking, which is the leading cause of boot failure. An axle retaining nut is supplied with every unit for a hassle-free installation, due to the likelihood that the original retaining nut is worn or stripped. CV Drive Axle measurements are validated after assembly to ensure a proper fit; Threads are precision rolled to ensure proper fit when axle nut is installed. Boot clamps are pneumatically crimped, creating a perfect seal between the boot and housing.

3 inches longer than original - did not fit

Arrived 2 days ago and attempted to install today. Not suitable. My knuckle should have compared them when I took the old one out. This one was 3 inches longer. Send back for exchange. let you know how it goes

Not worth saving $ - replacement parts

boxes dropped damaging internal parts. There was no time to exchange or return. So I had to refurbish it before I could use it on my car. The CV joints had caps chipped off at the ends so they fell off a lot. Fat is everywhere. Do not buy.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • quality

Test drive your product, but good when all is said and done.

1 of the 2 CV axles I bought had the cover removed and was leaking grease. They are just boarded up so a good push before installing can knock them off. But Revain quickly replaced them and they both installed with the forearms I ordered. So far, so good.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

Great replacement axle CV

First time changing one of these axles! It was perfect. Actually fits better than the OEM part imho. The price didn't taste good either! I'll have to try and think about upgrading in a year or two to see how it goes, but so far so good! Edit: 11/28/2016 Axis still works fine. The boots are still soft and no grease leaks out.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Exchange available

Lasted a month. in Transmission & Drivetrain

Refresh The boot is already torn! Ordering a new one now as I have to be on the road. So angry! Just as good if not better than the factory axle. Many bad reviews can be traced back to bad customer installation. Never touch the ends of the CV axle, I've noticed some people comment on the length and it may be because they lengthened the pivot points too much.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Weight

Be careful when unpacking

Many say the axis is too long. This is because the CV axis is too long and the 'balls' fall out of the marked end making it 'too long' and a fixed length. These axles should have free play to allow them to extend 2-3 inches. This happened to me hence 4 stars not 5. The product is great and my customer service experience was acceptable. Buy with confidence and unpack carefully. Do not grab the end of the spindle and do not rip it out of the box!

Pros
  • Ease of use
Cons
  • Some small things

Do not buy! in gearbox and gearbox

Bought two of these and one arrived in a box that was destroyed and completely expanded to the point of being uninstallable. I sent it back for a replacement thinking it was just a shipping accident. boy was I wrong. The removable frame has also been completely removed! It was too long and couldn't be compressed. I ended up going to Orielys to buy one and sending the broken one back. In the attached picture in the middle is the old one taken from my car, the one bought here and broken on the…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Almost never
